[Intro]
Yeah
Mm
I’ll find you
(I promise)
[Verse 1]
We were kids on the back of the bus
Laughin' at the world, it was us, just us
Then the world got loud, started pullin' on my sleeve
Pulled me from your side, ripped you out my reach
Mama needed help, had to hustle, had to grind
You were on my phone, I was runnin' outta time
Missed calls, mixed signals, then the line went dead
Your name stayed stuck in the back of my head
[Chorus]
The world won’t let us be together
My past keeps chainin' up my steps
But I swear I’ll find you again, someday, somewhere
Through the wreckage, through regret
If it takes all of my breath, all my days
I’ma fight through every storm, every test
Yeah, the world won’t let us be together right now
But I’m comin' for you next
[Verse 2]
Got scars I don’t talk about much
Court dates, cold nights, wrong clutch
Every time I almost dial your name
I remember all the mess that I still ain’t changed
Friends say, “Let go, that was back then”
Heart say, “Boy, that’s more than a past friend”
Whole globe in the way, all this distance
Still your face show up in my visions
[Chorus]
The world won’t let us be together
My past keeps chainin' up my steps
But I swear I’ll find you again, someday, somewhere
Through the wreckage, through regret
If it takes all of my breath, all my days
I’ma fight through every storm, every test
Yeah, the world won’t let us be together right now
But I’m comin' for you next
[Bridge]
If I gotta cross oceans, I will
If I gotta break cycles, I will
If I gotta face every ghost I fear
I’ma clear that road, make the path run clear (yeah)
If I gotta start over from dust
I’ll rebuild me, I’ll rebuild trust
World on my back, but I won’t bend
‘Cause this ain’t our last page, this ain’t our end
[Chorus]
The world won’t let us be together
My past keeps chainin' up my steps
But I swear I’ll find you again, someday, somewhere
Through the wreckage, through regret
If it takes all of my breath, all my days
I’ma fight through every storm, every test
Yeah, the world won’t let us be together right now
But I’m comin' for you next
[Outro]
Yeah, I’ll find you
When the noise all fades
When the past runs out
I’ll be standin' at your gate (yeah)
